Synthesis and characterization of poly(1-methyl-1-silabutane), poly(1-phenyl-1-silabutane) and poly(1-silabutane)

Summary Anionic ring opening polymerization of 1-methyl-1-silacyclobutane, 1-phenyl-1-silacyclobutane and 1-silacyclobutane co-catalyzed by n-butyllithium and hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) in THF at-78°C yields poly(1-methyl-1-silabutane), poly(1-phenyl-1-silabutane) and poly(1-silabutane) respectively. These saturated carbosilane polymers possess reactive Si-H bonds. They have been characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR as well as FT-IR and UV spectroscopy. Their molecular weight distributions have been determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermal stabilities by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and glass transition temperatures (T_g) by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).     

Phospholipases a(1)

Phospholipase A(1) (PLA(1)) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids and produces 2-acyl-lysophospholipids and fatty acids. This lipolytic activity is conserved in a wide range of organisms but is carried out by a diverse set of PLA(1) enzymes. Where their function is known, PLA(1)s have been shown to act as digestive enzymes, possess central roles in membrane maintenance and remodeling, or regulate important cellular mechanisms by the production of various lysophospholipid mediators, such as lysophosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidic acid, which in turn have multiple biological functions.     

Negative Cooperativity in NAD(P)H Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)

NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) is a homodimeric protein that acts as a detoxifying enzyme or as a chaperone protein. Dicourmarol interacts with NQO1 at the NAD(P)H binding site and can both inhibit enzyme activity and modulate the interaction of NQO1 with other proteins. We show that the binding of dicoumarol and related compounds to NQO1 generates negative cooperativity between the monomers. This does not occur in the presence of the reducing cofactor, NAD(P)H, alone. Alteration of Gly150 (but not Gly149 or Gly174) abolished the dicoumarol-induced negative cooperativity. Analysis of the dynamics of NQO1 with the Gaussian network model indicates a high degree of collective motion by monomers and domains within NQO1. Ligand binding is predicted to alter NQO1 dynamics both proximal to the ligand binding site and remotely, close to the second binding site. Thus, drug-induced modulation of protein motion might contribute to the biological effects of putative inhibitors of NQO1.

THE STABILITY OF THE AR(1) PROCESS WITH AN AR(1) COEFFICIENT

Abstract. In this paper we consider a simple time varying coefficient ARMA process:the AR (1) process with an AR (1) coefficient. A basic requirement of the process is that the output has finite variance, and we derive a condition on the parameters for this to be satisfied. The analysis is complicated by the interaction between the equations for the data and the varying coefficient.     

Analysis of irreversible oxidation wave of adsorbed CO at Pt(1 1 1), Pt(1 0 0) and Pt(1 1 0) electrodes

The oxidation wave of CO preadsorbed at 50 mV on Pt(1 1 1), (1 0 0) and (1 1 0) electrodes in phosphate buffer solution of pH 3 was observed as a function of the sweep rate. The sweep rate dependence of the peak current and peak potential, as well as the form of the wave, were examined on the basis of the Gilman mechanism that the electron transfer from a complex consisting of CO and oxygen containing species is the rate-determining step. An electron transfer step from CO itself was excluded. The peak current and peak potential analyses and the wave simulation gave the same value for f, the change in the interaction energy during the formation of the activated complex from the reactants. f was sweep-rate and surface-structure dependent. The nature of f was discussed.Nomenclature symmetry factor - reversible work required to bring an adsorbed species from its standard state - µ electrochemical potential - electrode potential referred to the reversible hydrogen electrode - _p peak potential - _1/2 width at half height of the oxidation wave - (a) adsorbed state - f() mutual interaction energy of the activated complex inRT units - f(R) mutual interaction energy of the reactants in RT units - f f() –f(R) - i oxidation current density, mA cm^–2 - i _p peak current, mA CM^–2 - k rate constant - Q ₀ electric charge, mCcm^–2 - v sweep rate, m Vs^–1 This paper is dedicated to Professor Brian E.
